Thinking sort of as a "Rice" type feel. Use of the thumb....little "Whoop Jamboree" in there almost.

Oh my gosh!   =8-o   WAY more thumbed notes than I thought!  I see I have a lot of work to do before I am playing stroke style rather than just plain ol' clawhammer....  yikes!    :(

I had a funny feeling there was probably more thumbing than I initially thought.


Thank you so much for adding the indications.  I see that I better start practicing it.

On the other hand, Converse in 1880's may have used Hammer Strokes for all those.
